Article Database Search Tips

Use truncation to search for all terms with the same root: child* for child, children and childhood

Combine terms with boolean operators, AND contains both terms, OR contains at least one term

Search phrases; quotes work for most databases

Use dropdown menu or radio buttons to limit search to fields such as title, subject, abstract, descriptors

Save time and frustration with the Help menu: every database has one!

Finding Articles in Full Text

Once you have identified a useful article, check to see whether it is available in full text from that database. You will see a link or an icon for an HTML or PDF version of the article (sometimes the full article is displayed below the abstract). If the article is not available in full text through that database, it may still be available through another vendor. Click the find it button to see if it is available. This will take you to the 360Link screen:

Library Books & Videos

In addition to scholarly articles, books are another important avenue for scholarly publishing. You may also want to find a DVD to supplement your presentation.
